This onethis one so fresh I'm still reading it off the paper man

It's just one of dem' nights youyou know fuck it

If y'all don't never hear nothing again from me

You know it was said here

Right over here



My people screamed for revenge

So fiend was called upon

Job description was get it on

Protect your mentalheart and your dome

You may die cause' of your tone

Youngblack and strong

I was meant and sent

Cause' some of the real was all gone

Since birth til' now I got holes in my t-shirt

From fighting with anybody that wants to see me hurt

Took it needle and blood

Second and first love

Fuck giving a fuck

Blame me not the drugs

I motivates myself

Grab a rocket off my shelf

A extra match and now I'm feeling like myself

Without help I could spot and just kill a decoy

Really end what I destroyed



With a heart of a ghetto boy

You have a souljah thats ready to die

Now in the heart of a ghetto boy

If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)

Man I ain't got no million dollars

I'm still in the ghetto

Hear me holler

Mr. 5-0 dollar

Trying to break nobody's collar

Wanting to give the baby something to follow

But shit I'm smoking like coffee lids

Trying to deal with what is

Screaming letta nigga live

And don't kick the door in my crib

I was off he even found where I lived

Now is it a crime to be black? 

And walk the streets wit' cha' gat? 

To protect family knock somebody off the map

Distributing crack to put clothes on they back

I did itand still do it if thats where I'm at

But see I'm best where I'm at

Up in this sack right into this back wood

Wanting everyday to be that good



Now in the heart of a ghetto boy

You have a souljah thats ready to die

Now in the heart of a ghetto boy

If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)

Yeah I been facing the depths of hell

For how long? 

23 years

And I choose to speak my mind even if it's my career

The only fear that I discovered ain't returned and ain't coming

And the faith that I have ain't in no car in no woman

Everyday I'm stumbling to a smarter me

A harder me

Revealing my strength for they try to swallow me

I done read what they didn't want me to read

Learn to need what they didn't want me to need

Shit look I really gotta house full of guns

A couch full of ones

Just in case I don't understand the outcome that life taught

Let me leave you with this thought

Why the lion needed courage and he already had heart....



Of a ghetto boy

You have a souljah thats ready to die

Now in the heart of a ghetto boy

If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)

In a heart of a ghetto boy

You have a souljah thats ready to die

If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)

In a heart of a ghetto boy

You have a souljah thats ready to die

Now in the heart of a ghetto boy	 (why why why)

If you ask him to live he'll probably say why (why why why)



Why why why



Live live live



Why why why



Live live live



Why why why



Live live live



Why why why



In the heart of a ghetto boy



In every man 	   young man 	   old man

There lies one

In the heart of a ghetto boy
